If you are renting or hiring a villa or apartment on the Costa Blanca in the summer you may well want to look to rent a villa or apartment with air conditioning or at least one with fans otherwise you may have trouble sleeping at night, especially if you are coming on holiday from a northern European country where the temperatures are much lower.

COSTA BLANCA WEATHER IN THE WINTER

The weather on the Costa Blanca in winter is very mild compared to northern Europe. Most winter days will be clear and sunny. The temperatures can vary greatly in winter, one day it can be over 20 degrees Celsius and you will be walking around in your t-shirt, on another day it can be 6 degrees Celsius and feel very cold.

If you are visiting the Costa Blanca in winter be careful to ensure that if you rent a villa or apartment that it has some form of heating, preferably central heating. Houses in Spain are built so that they are cool in summer but that unfortunately means they are not insulated and can be very cold in winter.

Even in the winter it doesn't rain much on the Costa Blanca with November being the wettest month. The exception is when the Costa Blanca experiences a 'Gota Fria' - this happens when the temperature suddenly drops resulting in incredible torrential rain and flooding to many areas of the Costa Blanca. The towns on the coast of the Costa Blanca are hit especially badly as the Gota Fria also creates huge waves and high tides which often destroy the beaches.

COSTA BLANCA CLIMATE

The World Health Organisation describes the climate of the Costa Blanca as one of being the best in the world. The summers are hot but not too hot due to the cooling breezes and the winters are mild with many clear blue sunny days. The Costa Blanca climate and weather is very healthy especially for sufferers of arthritis. The areas around Torrevieja which is surrounded by natural salt lakes are especially good.

The Costa Blanca is very mountainous and so you can find this accounts for big differences in the weather from town to town depending on what valley they are situated in. The weather especially varies from the coastal towns of the Costa Blanca to the towns inland from the coast in the mountainous areas.
